... but ... but ... no one really cares about that. k8s is targeted at startups who will do the sales dance with the big Enterprises and they'll do a SaaS that's backed by k8s managed infra. (Or the Enterprise will use k8s on their Linux servers. Maybe hosted on VMware, maybe on HyperV, maybe in Azure maybe at AWS.)

k8s is a project, a lot of people find it useful. A lot of big corps have IT R&D groups (basically all Fortune 500 have), and they have their own test network. Or they test on their own rack, or on their own cloud, or on their own AWS account.

I think I don't really understand what your belief with regards to k8s is, but I'm interested, so could you give some details?
